Central Life Insurance should link here
Central Life Insurance Company (1922 – 1991) was an American insurance company, founded by prominent African Americans in Tampa, Florida, U.S.. The company founders included Mary McLeod Bethune, George Schroeder Middleton, L. A. Howell, T. L. Lowrie, S. J. Johnson, C. H. Norton (dentist), and W. D. Potter.[1][2] It loaned money to black owned businesses and was established during the Jim Crow era of segregation and discrimination.[3]
In 1978, Edward D. Davis led it.[4] The company was shut down by the state in August 1991.[5] It had been struggling financially.[5]
One of its founders, George Schroeder Middleton, had a black high school named after him in 1934, George Schroeder Middleton Senior High School (now George S. Middleton High School).[6]
